Today’s topic, courtesy of the ladies at YA Highway, is: What time do you prefer to do your writing? Early Worm? Night Owl ? Any five seconds you can grab?
Anyone want to guess what I am? As much as I try to write at other hours of the day, the evening is when the stars seem to align. I have free time! I’ve done everything I need to do! I need to write! And… I need to be at work in 5 hours.
…Yeah. My ‘inspiration’ has the habit of colliding with that point I should be in bed. 1 – 3am is a magical time when the words flow, and nothing can keep me away from my work – especially not sleep.
These days, because I’m old and doddery and freakin’ love my bed, I try to keep it constrained to ‘the evening’, forcing myself out of the nocturnal schedule and into something vaguely human.
I’m not quite there, but I’m close.
